OFFENSE
344.7 ypg - 16th
24.6 ppg - 9th

DEFENSE
326 ypg - 14th
15.9 ppg - 2nd
Matthews - 10.5 sacks - 1st

Except for the defensive points allowed, pretty underwhelming but you can't argue with the results. Especially with all of the injuries.

Good call. I forgot about that one.

It always helps to play Cutler, Kitna, Favre, and Shaun Hill.

Hawk has quietly put together a pretty awesome season. Would still like him to be more aggressive, but he's not making mistakes out there. Like, any. Stats might back it up, I don't know.

We're gonna need something to discuss this week. Anyone got something?

We lead the league in interceptions last year. This team has a nose for the ball. Maybe? I don't know.

Yep he gets a lot of hate and he did have one game where he was pretty bad but his entire body of work this season has been very solid.

I've been his biggest critic but I've been quiet the past few weeks. There are still a few plays where I say "come on AJ, that was dumb" but the overwhelming majority of the time he has been pretty damn solid as of late.

I still can't shake that image of how slow he ran returning that Favre INT.

Bishop is a keeper if we can resign.
Chillar = #1 in coverage
Hawk is playing better but has monster contract next year

I'd trade Barnett but comming off injury probably nobody bites. I want Bishop Chill & Hawk but since we're kinda stuck with Nick (unless they Harris him) it may come down between Hawk & Bishop. IF so I choose Des.

This team really doesn't have a huge weakness on defense. Maybe coverage by the LB's, but even that hasn't been a huge issue yet. Assuming we can keep Pickett healthy and Green plays like he did the last couple games, I don't see many teams running on us, especially with Bishop now in at LB. Our coverage with Tramon/Woodson/Shields is very good, and our pass rush, while dependent on one guy quite a bit, is leading the NFL in sacks.

Agreed with LUKE23 that Green has been a huge addition. Kind of stun that the Jets let that guy go.

Wouldn't mind bringing him back in next year as a reserve. That guy is huge and has been a beast against the run.

Green has been a beast and really has impacted the team much like Grady Jackson had when he was brought in. I think Rexy just wanted to eliminate the competition at the catering line.

I think bar none the biggest surprise has been the play of Peprah. That is my only concern, can he keep it up or how will bigby do when/if he usurps the position?

Maybe or maybe not.

I heard that Green was cut because he came back from the bye week 14 pounds heavier. Srsly.

Post #16 » by **MickeyDavis** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 3:14 pm

Hawk has been pretty good but not $10 million (next years salary) good. I'd sign him to a reasonable 3-4 year deal if he'll take it.

Well that makes sense. Damn.

Brandon Jackson is averaging 4.3 YPC.

Yep, I see no way he is back at his current contract, he will either renegotiate and be back at a smaller salary or he will be cut, I hope the former personally.

Power Rankings: Preseason: 3. This week: 7.

Where they stand: The Packers have 10 players on injured reserve, six of whom have started at least one game this season. No other NFL team has lost more than three starters for the season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. It's remarkable that the Packers are 6-3 after losing tailback Ryan Grant, tight end Jermichael Finley and linebacker Nick Barnett, among others. And keep in mind that two losses came in overtime and a third with four seconds remaining in regulation. Despite an unimaginable spate of health problems, the Packers have positioned themselves among the top teams in the NFC.

Falling: Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been the first to admit he has fallen short of the superstar expectations placed upon him this season. Everything is relative, of course. Rodgers' passer rating is 90.6, good for No. 11 in the NFL. He ranks fifth in both yardage (2,300) and touchdown passes (15), but has already thrown more interceptions this season (nine) than he did in all of 2009 (seven). Some of that falloff can be attributed to the loss of Grant and Finley, but on some occasions, Rodgers had made poor decisions and thrown with uncharacteristic inaccuracy. Still, it's hard to consider Rodgers' play a problem. He just hasn't carried the team to the extent he did last season. It would help if the Packers can generate more of a rushing game as the weather turns. Currently they rank No. 20 among NFL teams with an average of 101.6 rushing yards per game.

Rising: Linebacker Clay Matthews amassed six sacks in his first two games and still leads the NFL with 10.5 despite missing one game because of a hamstring injury. Matthews is among a handful of midseason candidates for Defensive Player of the Year and is a testament to how an elite pass-rusher can impact an entire defense. But anyone who has watched Matthews rush from almost every position on the field knows what a masterful job defensive coordinator Dom Capers has done. His creative schemes have compensated for personnel shortages at multiple positions. The Packers have given up a total of seven points in their past two games, lowering their average points per game to 15.9 -- good for No. 2 in the NFL. On the other side of the ball, it's worth noting that rookie Bryan Bulaga has proved a more-than-adequate safety net for injured right tackle Mark Tauscher, who might not get his job back.

Outlook: The Packers have a half-game lead over the Chicago Bears and will play host to them in their regular-season finale for what could be the NFC North championship game. Even with their long injury list, the Packers appear to be the class of the division and are poised to make a deep playoff run. You want to add the "if they stay healthy" caveat, but the Packers have already demonstrated a capacity to overcome seemingly crippling injuries.
